Casa da Ti Maria Pereira, hotel in Monsanto

Casa da Ti Maria Pereira offers accommodations in Monsanto, a 7-minute walk from Monsanto Castle. Featuring quiet street views, this vacation home also comes with free Wifi.

The instructions for handling pick-up from the town's edge parking lot were perfect (can't drive in due to small roadways). The cute home is exactly how it appeared in pictures. There was good Wifi, heating, and hot water for the shower. All necessary toiletries, coffee, tea, and breakfast were provided. In addition, when the host tried to help us make dinner reservations and learned all the restaurants were closed for a party, she made us a wonderful dinner at her place instead. She also provided a labeled map that in conjunction with our prior research, helped us make sure we didn't miss anything interesting while we were in town.

    Monsanto has been the highlight of our trip to Portugal and Spain so far. It is so authentic and real, the buildings are amazing and the views are outstanding. The walk up to the Castle is a little challenging but so worth the effort. We were there for the medieval festival and were made very welcome by the locals and we had some memorable times there. If you are in the Douro Valley, make the effort to head to Monsanto if you want to visit an authentic and historic village.

    Monsanto is the most unique small town we visited on our 3wk trip to Portugal. You can start to see the massive boulders from the base of the hillside and then it's 5 km straight up winding narrow road. You will need your host to show you where to park.

    It is a good idea to book a place for the night.

    It is a good idea to book a place for the night. The views are so incredible and unique you will want to experience day and night in amongst the boulders. There is a wonderful hike to the ruins above the boulder village. There is spectacular lighting in the evening. The village is quite out of the way for travelling. This was our second visit to Monsanto so we knew to book for the night. Lots of unique places to eat. We ate at our hosts' spot and it was great. Once you arrive amongst the boulders, you don't have to leave until your stay is over. You can find all you need there.

    Very unique. Great trekking up to the fort (short but steep). We really enjoyed the “rock village”. Our meal at Pestitos and Granitos was delicious. We recommend Monsanto fro those looking for a unique experience.

    It's a very peaceful place with lots of great views and we found a lovely bistro to eat at. Some of the roads are very steep and you have to park and walk so for someone not so good on their feet this wouldn't be suitable

    My husband and I loved our stay at Casa Do Castello. We booked the King Suite with Balcony and the view was breathtaking. The suite itself was very clean, spacious, nicely decorated and as described on Bookings. We met the host at their restaurant Casa da Gruta for check-in. Later in the evening we enjoyed a meal at the lovely Casa da Gruta restaurant and enjoyed the regional and ancient recipes from Monsanto. Thank you for making our stay and dining experience a wonderful one to remember. Everything was perfect!

    the place was amazing, so cute and in the most enchanting village It was spacious and super clean. Host was available and answered all of our questions. The air conditioner in the main space was key as it is hot in Monsanto. The kitchen had everything and so cute. you do have to be careful if you are very tall but keep in mind you are staying in a medieval village!! The location of this place was just perfect. Staying here was a real experience going back in time. And the terrace- wow!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Taverna Lusitana! The hosts (who own and operate the tavern) were welcoming, kind and went out of their way to make our stay there enjoyable. Our accommodations were wonderfully comfortable, spotlessly clean and so unique - we really enjoyed ourselves. The breakfast served to us on the patio overlooking the hillside was delicious. Had we known how beautiful it is in Monsanto, we would have extended our stay there.

    We loved staying in the stairway to the castle in the unique village of Monsanto. We enjoyed being able to quietly explore the narrow streets and the castle next to us. the town at night is magical . The house is beautifully decorated and clean and comfortable. The host Simon was very responsive and you felt welcome and supported if needed. Would definitely recommend we discovered there is more to this area than expected.

    Monsanto is amazing and a must visit! Host sent us directions by whatsapp with a video on how to find the accommodation, this was very helpful. Host is fitting the local environment and is in a great location in Monsanto. View from the balcony was amazing and you can have a nice coffee from the balcony viewing the area. Overall good value for money. Convenient and clean

    The hosts were extremely friendly. We felt like we had known each other our whole lives. Beautiful view and great location. Francisco and his wife also booked a restaurant for us so that we were not hungry late at night. Next time, when we come back to Monsanto, we are staying at the Old house. Thanks to the hosts for a wonderful experience.
